Or you can just pledge allegiance to... ... ... you know... ..... the thing.
Look here Fat, and I comply again with the new York times and the Washington post office was the last Islamic state of Connecticut wants the state employee of a few years to get a new place in the field.
Huge respect. One of my favorite professors in undergrad became one too. Very depressing cuz he's a very intelligent Christian man, but it goes to show, even people like him can be misguided by leftism
When I was in fifth grade, I had a great teacher who used to have us take turns being the leader of the pledge, and whoever was the leader also picked a patriotic song for the class to sing. It was great.
I'm an atheist and I have no problem saying under god. The change is from the left only and it is to chip away at what America is and what it stands for.
As for my background I was raised Lutheran and at church every weekend. As I got older i began to question what I was being told and I was always a good student in math and science. I have a master's degree in Mechanical engineering and I worked for NASA for a while before realizing the money was better and bureaucracy was less developed in the private sector. I can accept the word "God" to mean something people look up to or an all knowing all seeing deity. To me I accept God to mean the laws of science which are either made by this all knowing deity or just by the universe itself. Basically I accept god to be a larger and unwavering force that is over our heads.
You sound like Baruch Spinoza, a philosopher who essentially argued that god is a synonym for underlying nature or reality. More people should know about his ideas; he doesn't conflict with reality and determinism while advocating people accept and understand the world as it is.
It still was an attempt to subvert the system from within, even if it failed at it's purpose. It's a commie tactic to take over cultural symbols and change their meaning. I think it's a creepy oath, knowing it's original purpose was to promote Christian socialism
Honestly, I agree. And to me it feels like another one of those things used to indoctrinate us. I am talking about in the schools of course. There just seems to be something wrong with making children pledge their allegiance to anything really.
Going to start teaching this to my 3 year old tomorrow..he's already big-time Trump guy. Asked him last night randomly, what do you think about President Trump? He replied "We love President Trump. He protects us always." Then he proceeded to ask me if we could invite him over to play. I wish bud...I wish.
So happy this girl I’m talking to she’s a kindergarten teacher pro trump af and legit makes sure how important the flag is and she makes sure everyone is proud of the pledge !!
lol Imagine calling yourself a patriotic american and not agreeing to one of our countries core values, freedom of religion. If you want to be fundamentalist the middle east would be a better place for you. Freedom is about choice and America is about freedom.
I highly recommend the animated TV show Liberty's Kids for anyone with children and teens. Accurate, highly entertaining/fascinating and FULL of love for America. It shows the entirety of the Revolutionary War, from The Boston Tea Party to Washington taking office. It's kid friendly, but doesn't gloss over the serious subjects and deaths.
My favorite show as a kid and all my friends as well! They now show it to their children. :)
Got tired of hypocrites, and watching people lead double lives. Cost me 20 years of friends and all my family to escape. They hold people hostage with the threat of stunning (called Disfellowshipping) Most people can't handle that loss and stay in.
I have adult kids my parents have never met, I don't even know if my parents are still alive.
I still didn't realize it was a cult till years later when I broke the conditioning and did research from outside sources. Reddit actually had quite a community of exjw it is one of the few communities I miss from there. 90% of it buys into the MSM and were still rabid anti Trump though. Some people move from one cult to another.
Totally worth it to raise my kids free of that cult.
I bet your kids are glad too. So sad, I followed the ex-cult subs on reddit too. Lots of sad stories of abuse in cults. Do you have any advice on what to do, (or not do) inhelping a newly escaped person?
I'm well aware that it's allowed, and my response was to the poster who cited a 1943 SC decision as the reason students couldn't be forced to recite the pledge--when even decades after that, students were reciting it without issue.
Man, I'm ashamed to say...We had to do the pledge when I was a kid and I sat down like a shitbird because I didn't want anyone telling me what to do.
Now, I stand.
If I can take any solace at all, its that I've always been anti-authority and now, the authority wants me to hate my country, and I don't. I love this country and my head is on straight. I'll die for your kid's right to enjoy even half of the greatness I've been afforded.
Last week, in a Facebook group for private school parents in SF, someone started a thread to asking which schools still teach Pledge of allegiance. To my surprise, I am the only one who supports pledge of allegiance. It makes me wonder shall I stay in Commifornia.
The Pledge of Allegiance is like multiplication tables. It's just something that you really ought to know and if you don't, then your school did a lousy job.
I bought my daughter a Little Golden Book called "Our Flag" It is surprisingly still in print despite being from 1960 (though you may want to get it now before the woke mob burns it). It tells kids the story about the flag (Betsy Ross, Fort McHenry etc.) and then goes into flag code. It ends with the Pledge of Allegiance. My daughter and I read the book together.
i am a canadian and i have had the pledge of allegiance memorized for 35 years or so from old albums and movies etc .i have that stored away in my brain with the lords prayer
Yes agreed, mine attends a religious school, which can be left on some issues. We still re-enforce our moral foundation and point out our differences. At least the public school can't constantly work against us and corrupt what we're trying to accomplish.
Private school.... pays off in the long run. Not in the basement. Not rioting in the streets. But home owning wonderful kids that work hard and help make America Great Again.
Not gonna apologize for being American. This country was built by people with a dream and who sought a better life. That’s what America is about. It’s about hard work, personal responsibility and the belief in God who is greater then ourselves.
The past year has turned me back to the faith. We face great evil my fellow patriots. We must be good family members, friends and neighbors to combat the evil. The light will always beat the dark. Prepare physically and spiritually for what is ahead.
We recently started homeschooling our 7 and 8 year old.
We, as a family, do the Pledge of Allegiance. My kids call it our "America Prayer", because we usually start our morning with both prayers and the pledge.
While interviewing daycare people we landed on one who teaches numbers, letters, three letter words, prayers, the presidents, stats and capitals, and the pledge of allegiance.
We went with her.
And then found out she's ultra conservative, its great talking about GEOTUS, his family, Tucker, etc in front of a couple toddlers and my infant.
I made sure to listen in on the first day of zoom school today for this very reason. They passed.
Yuri B calls it “normalization.”
http://factmyth.com/factoids/the-pledge-of-allegiance-was-written-by-a-socialist/ Socialism leads to communism.
Or fascism.
Or Islam: they say "death to America" when they see Our flag.
Same here. I was like one of the edgy r/atheism teenagers and skipped the pledge as well. Now I'm as patriotic as anyone else on here
Same here! I blush to think of those days. Oh well. Up with Old Glory!
Ditto.
Just repeat the version of the pledge prior to 1954.
When you say passed...
I was satisfied, but I'm going to be lurking!
Do NOT let your guard down. Ever vigilant. I fear for those of you with children.

Aye, love the font you used. Never seen it before. Reminds me of medieval times
Wait you guys are doing pledge of allegiance on zoom calls? It's almost like my school forgot
Me too, patriot.
I’m 60 and I say it every morning. Just before sunrise. I look forward to it. 🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸
Don't forget to pray!
That's really cute I can't lie.
Or you can just pledge allegiance to... ... ... you know... ..... the thing.
Look here Fat, and I comply again with the new York times and the Washington post office was the last Islamic state of Connecticut wants the state employee of a few years to get a new place in the field.
"Look here fat, and I will be there are a few things I need to do to get the flu and I will be there at the same time I don't have a car 🚗🤣😅🤣😂😂😂🤣"
The pledge of autocorrect.
Goddamn comedy relief. It was getting gay
Huge respect. One of my favorite professors in undergrad became one too. Very depressing cuz he's a very intelligent Christian man, but it goes to show, even people like him can be misguided by leftism
God bless you and God bless your daughter. I admire your commitment to your daughter's education and to this country.
Black Lives Matter, but their behavior matters more.
So good to hear.
It's still said in Austin TX. Along with the Texas pledge 👍
God bless Texas
That won't last long in Austin
It's not going anywhere. Trust me. I'm in it.
One Nation Under Kek, fellow Pede!
Note that there is no comma after "one nation". It is all one statement:
One nation under God
We were taught this incorrectly as kids.
This is one of the most valuable things we can do to make patriots out of our little ones.
When I was in fifth grade, I had a great teacher who used to have us take turns being the leader of the pledge, and whoever was the leader also picked a patriotic song for the class to sing. It was great.
I'm an atheist and I have no problem saying under god. The change is from the left only and it is to chip away at what America is and what it stands for.
I 2 am an atheist, I prefer the pre 1952 pledge, but I have other issues I care more about.
That's interesting. I didn't know it changed in 52 but I agree with you.
Any teacher/school which is anti America can give up their human/civil rights and teach in China
I wish I was first taught that "God" is meaning the innate Light and Goodness within, rather than just a word used in religion
As for my background I was raised Lutheran and at church every weekend. As I got older i began to question what I was being told and I was always a good student in math and science. I have a master's degree in Mechanical engineering and I worked for NASA for a while before realizing the money was better and bureaucracy was less developed in the private sector.

When I was at my naturalization ceremony for my US Citizenship. I had to recite this exact pledge, and I will never back down from it.
Exactly, pede. When you recite it, it is all one statement:
One nation under God
nope
Francis Bellamy was a commie. The Pledge is creepy when one learns it's history. It's hiding socialism in patriotism.
I'm teaching my kid the Constitution, Declaration of Independence, Federalist Papers, On Liberty.
Sad that i had to scroll this far down to find someone bringing this up.

I said this pledge every day at the beginning of school in elementary. I’m in college now. I wish I knew then just how important it was at the time
And more for your kids...
from a much much better time....
Schoolhouse Rock
'The Preamble.'

So happy this girl I’m talking to she’s a kindergarten teacher pro trump af and legit makes sure how important the flag is and she makes sure everyone is proud of the pledge !!
I just said it right now because fuck communism.
They actually say the pledge every morning on my kids state virtual school...i was pleasantly surprised
Crazy thing is, the pledge was originally created and spread by a socialist
http://factmyth.com/factoids/the-pledge-of-allegiance-was-written-by-a-socialist/ Socialism leads to communism. It's true.
UNDER GOD!
N
Nope
Sorry to tell you mate, but if you're not a Christian fundamentalist or at least go along with what they want, you won't be welcome here.
lol Imagine calling yourself a patriotic american and not agreeing to one of our countries core values, freedom of religion. If you want to be fundamentalist the middle east would be a better place for you. Freedom is about choice and America is about freedom.
Decidedly untrue.

My former cult is the reason kids can't be forced to say it or to salute any more.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Virginia_State_Board_of_Education_v._Barnette
I'm so very glad you got out friend. I've talked with JWs, it's like speaking to a brick wall..how'd you get out of it?
Got tired of hypocrites, and watching people lead double lives. Cost me 20 years of friends and all my family to escape. They hold people hostage with the threat of stunning (called Disfellowshipping) Most people can't handle that loss and stay in.

And yet teachers were leading kids in the pledge long after that decision.
That is allowed. They just can't require them to participate (legally) if they have a religious objection.
My classrooms all did it. The JW kids either stood silently not saluting (I was taught to always stand out of respect) or left the room.
We had to leave for Birthday/holiday parties.
What we didn't do was force others to change how they behaved like many try to do today.
I'm well aware that it's allowed, and my response was to the poster who cited a 1943 SC decision as the reason students couldn't be forced to recite the pledge--when even decades after that, students were reciting it without issue.
Man, I'm ashamed to say...We had to do the pledge when I was a kid and I sat down like a shitbird because I didn't want anyone telling me what to do.

I thought the pledge of allegiance was created by a socialist.
http://factmyth.com/factoids/the-pledge-of-allegiance-was-written-by-a-socialist/ Yap. The social dissonance around here is insane.
Last week, in a Facebook group for private school parents in SF, someone started a thread to asking which schools still teach Pledge of allegiance. To my surprise, I am the only one who supports pledge of allegiance. It makes me wonder shall I stay in Commifornia.
I am a californian refugee. So happy I left.
FUCK CALIFORNIA. FUCK COMMUNISM.
Man I feel so patriotic this week!
I remember in grade school every Monday we had to say the Pledge of Allegiance right after attendance was taken.
Same even in commiefornia we did in the 90s. Not sure about today.
The Pledge of Allegiance is like multiplication tables. It's just something that you really ought to know and if you don't, then your school did a lousy job.
Not only did we say the pledge in school as kids, but we sang this song right after
https://youtu.be/qjlty9dztw4
This was Brooklyn, NY in the late 70s.
We would sing in music class the Battle Hymn of the Republic all four verses of it.
In the beauty of the lilies
Christ was born across the sea,
With a glory in his bosom
That transfigures you and me:
As he died to make men holy,
let us die to make men free,
While God is marching on.
Change “flag” to “Constitution” and I’ll agree
"To the republic for which it stands..." That's pretty much saying the constitution without saying "the constitution."
Ok
They all stand for the same thing.
The flag is the face, but the Constitution is the soul.
Demoralization, Destabilization, Crisis, Normalization. Can't let them get a foothold on your kids.
Yes, sir.
Bellamy was a creepy ass socialist. I can't get behind the Pledge. Proto-national socialist.
John Dewey is another socialist that really screwed up the American education system.
Most people don't realize that socialism crept into our country under Woodrow Wilson and the Progressives.
FYI there is no pause between One Nation Under God. Its one phrase
I bought my daughter a Little Golden Book called "Our Flag" It is surprisingly still in print despite being from 1960 (though you may want to get it now before the woke mob burns it). It tells kids the story about the flag (Betsy Ross, Fort McHenry etc.) and then goes into flag code. It ends with the Pledge of Allegiance. My daughter and I read the book together.
When I went to public school, we stood for the pledge of allegiance every day, and "Under God" was still in the pledge. I miss the 90s.
i am a canadian and i have had the pledge of allegiance memorized for 35 years or so from old albums and movies etc .i have that stored away in my brain with the lords prayer
Patriotism and they fear that if they say the word "G-d" they might burst into flame.
My kid is in private school, not only do they say the pledge but also pray. It was a big financial sacrifice, but it was worth it.
Yes agreed, mine attends a religious school, which can be left on some issues. We still re-enforce our moral foundation and point out our differences. At least the public school can't constantly work against us and corrupt what we're trying to accomplish.
Private school.... pays off in the long run. Not in the basement. Not rioting in the streets. But home owning wonderful kids that work hard and help make America Great Again.
Thank you for sharing.
I printed this out on photo paper and it looks great on the wall as a daily reminder!
Not gonna apologize for being American. This country was built by people with a dream and who sought a better life. That’s what America is about. It’s about hard work, personal responsibility and the belief in God who is greater then ourselves.

We recently started homeschooling our 7 and 8 year old.
We, as a family, do the Pledge of Allegiance. My kids call it our "America Prayer", because we usually start our morning with both prayers and the pledge.
Remember our heritage!
My kids say every day at their public school. Ah red states
Fantastic statement there!
I grew up listening and repeating this every day I went to school. I have memorized at this point and understand its meaning implicitly.
While interviewing daycare people we landed on one who teaches numbers, letters, three letter words, prayers, the presidents, stats and capitals, and the pledge of allegiance.
We went with her.
And then found out she's ultra conservative, its great talking about GEOTUS, his family, Tucker, etc in front of a couple toddlers and my infant.
Patriotism > communism
We say it every morning to our flag before homeschool!
Yes!
The pre 1952 pledge that wasn't fucked up by the Knights of Columbus was much better.
